Josephine paused to think before responding, “Yeah, actually, there was something. Before the news about the demolition got out, I heard people saying the chief kept sneaking off to the back mountain all the time.

“Oh, and now that I think about it, there were some outsiders who showed up in the village around then, too. But I can’t say for sure if they were with those businessmen who came early to try and talk the villagers into agreeing to the relocation.”

By the time they left Josephine’s house, it was already afternoon.

Rubbing her chin, Aubree said with a mischievous glint in her eyes, “Josephine said Mr. Molina and the chief have deep ties. Judging from what we learned from Ethan, Mr. Molina probably knows even more than he lets on.

“With all the drama today, shouldn’t we let Mr. Molina in on it? Let’s not forget that he treated us to dinner on our very first day here.”

Bowen let out a faint, almost mocking smile, as if he found the whole thing a bit ridiculous.
